Seton Hall (18-10, 8-8) can't afford a home loss to Georgetown. [B]Mississippi State at South Carolina (7 p.m., ESPNU):[/B] There are a few reasons for Syracuse fans to care about this game. First, South Carolina is a 10-seed on BracketMatrix, putting the Gamecocks in bubble territory. In addition, Syracuse has a loss to South Carolina on its record. So it's up to you, Orange fans, to figure out whether to cheer for or against South Carolina. [B]Indiana at Purdue (7 p.m., ESPN2):[/B] Indiana's postseason hopes have faded, but the Hoosiers still appear in some brackets listed on BracketMatrix. It's probably better for Syracuse that Indiana not get hot in advance of the Big Ten tournament. [B]DePaul at Providence (8:30 p.m., FS1):[/B] The Friars are in direct competition with Syracuse for one of the last bids to the NCAA tournament. Palm has Providence as an 11-seed, putting the Friars just ahead of Syracuse. A home loss to DePaul would be devastating. [B]Vanderbilt at Kentucky (9 p.m., ESPN):[/B] Vanderbilt is currently out of the NCAA field. The Commodores are an 11-seed on BracketMatrix, but Palm doesn't have them in his field or among his First 4 Out. A win at Kentucky would be a huge boost. Syracuse fans would prefer to see Kentucky beat Vandy. [B]Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech (9 p.m., ESPNU):[/B] Syracuse and Georgia Tech are linked in a battle for one of the final spots in the NCAA field as well as a first-round bye in the ACC tournament. Georgia Tech is one of the First 4 Out on BracketMatrix, but the Yellow Jackets are even further out in Palm's projections. A win over Pitt would set up a showdown between Syracuse and Georgia Tech at the Carrier Dome on Saturday. [/QUOTE]
